G ala Concert in Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Reopening of the Vienna State Opera after the Second World War, featuring some of the world's greatest singers and conductors of contemporary opera

The Vienna State Opera stepped back half a century with gala concert excerpts of Beethoven's “Fidelio” - performed at that reopening - and the five subsequent premieres including Mozart's “Don Giovanni”; Strauss's “Der Rosenkavalier” ("The Knight of the Rose"), “Die Frau ohne Schatten” ("The Woman Without a Shadow"), Wagner's “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg” ("The Mastersingers of Nuremberg") and Verdi’s “Aida”

This special concert is expected to be one of the most talked-about opera and classical music events of the year!
